Survivor
Now that you are out of my life,
I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
Sold nine million.
Ginny dragged herself up off the cold, hard stone floor. There was a matter of dust tousled in her hair, taking away from her beauty. She walked over to the cave entrance and squinted into the sunlight, her eyes taking their time to adjust. She could smell the tantalising aroma of various soups and confectionary. She rubbed her grumbling stomach and sighed. She had not eaten since the picnic yesterday and now that she thought about it that had been almost a day ago. She decided to risk being caught and headed down to the town below her. She had no money but she needed to eat.

She spied a small stall selling various soups outside a shop. There weren't many people around. Ginny picked up a large rock and threw it slightly to the left of the stall, where it landed in an alley with a loud clang, indicating it had hit a garbage can. The stall owner went to investigate the noise. While he was gone, Ginny stepped up to the stall and took three plastic containers full of what looked like french onion and cream of mushroom soup. She also grabbed a spoon, before turning and running away, hoping nobody had seen her take them. Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind.
Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,
But it won't stop,
You thought that I would self-destruct,
But I'm still here,
Even in my years to come,
I'm still gon' be here.
Ginny froze with fear before slowly turning around. She came face to face with one of those muggle please-men. He said " Excuse me mam, you dropped your spoon" and handed her the white plastic spoon. She took it with a hurried word of thanks before running back to the cave. She sat on the cold stone floor, her heart thumping faster then ever. All she had to do now was to ration the soup carefully and she could live on it for two weeks. She shivered and drew her cloak tighter around her. Her breath came out in ragged gasps. It was getting colder and colder.

Suddenly the soups froze over along with the rest of the cave. Ginny realised what was happenening and ducked behind a rock, just in time to see two dementors drift in. Ginny sat cowering behind the rock, hoping they wouldn't see her. They kept gliding along the length of the cave. Suddenly one paused and looked around the cave. It drifted straight over to the rock Ginny sat behind, its great rattling breath growing more ragged and excited. Ginny tightly hugged her knees tightly to her chest as the dementor looked around the rock and saw her.
I'm wishin' you the best,
Pray that you are blessed,
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or your family, yo,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity,
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet
Cause my momma told me better than that.
The Dementor gestured for the other one to join it. It moved in on Ginny and despite the fact she was paralysed with fear, she managed to drag herself up of the ground. She whipped out her jeans and stuttered "ex-expecto p-p-patronum" Her wand coughed out a few silver sparks and the dementors grew closer. She tried again but sttutered and got a few more sparks for her trouble. She backed against the wall and tried once more, but to no avail. They still moved closer. Suddenly Ginny heard a yell from the cave entrance and the dementors were driven away by a silver stag.

The person ran forward and Ginny looked up into the emerald green eyes of Harry Potter. He sat down next to her and she burrowed her head into his side, letting the tears fall. Harry held her for what seemed like ages until the tears finally dried up. He began to ask her a barrage of questions " Why are you here? What happened with Hermione and Mrs Weasley? Why couldn't you produce a patronus? -" Ginny held up her hand to cut him off. "I'll tell you later but please promise me that you won't tell anyone where I am" Harry looked uncertain and didn't answer at first.
After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain prosperity.
Finally he nodded and promised not to tell anyone. "But at least let me bring you some clothes and food" Ginny hesitated briefly before nodding. Harry stood up and handed her a small whistle-like object. "This is a bisquena, if those dementors come back just blow on it and I'll come to help you, I refuse to let anything hurt you" Ginny hugged him. Harry looked a little uncomfortable and said he had to go back otherwise Mrs Weasley would send a search party after him. Ginny accepted this and let him go. As she sat back down she slipped the bisquena into her front pocket.

She took a spoonful of the now cold french onion soup. It didn't taste that bad. She stood up and walked over to the cave entrance to get a little sunlight and warmth. She stuck her head out and saw a shock of bright red hair. She quickly pulled herself back in, before realising it was her own hair. She stuck her head back out, sweeping her hair back behind her ears. She then saw Mrs Weasley talking to the same young please-man. He pointed up towards the cave and Ginny pulled back in. Her mother knew where she was. She would have to run again.
